Across the country, communities are coming together to celebrate and support the local news that keeps people informed, connected, and engaged. Here in Kalamazoo County, that work happens every day through NowKalamazoo.

Local journalism is what helps residents:

• understand decisions being made by local leaders
• discover community events and opportunities
• connect with organizations and neighbors

This kind of reporting only exists when communities support it. We are a nonprofit community newsroom. We don’t charge to read our information. We earn the support of those who value it.

On Local News Day, we’re asking you to invest in the future of local journalism in Kalamazoo. We are sincerely grateful for your support!
